MERVYN LEROY'S PRE-CODE FILMS 🖤 Coming to the Criterion Channel February 1! In the early 1930s, when Warner Bros. was the home for gritty, socially conscious dramas ripped from the fabric of working-class life, perhaps no director exemplified the studio’s

Goodnight to the brilliant and beloved Catherine O’Hara, whose presence brought so much joy to our screens. Here she is giving one of her scene-stealing performances as Gail, the Mister Softee vendor, in Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS (1985). ❤️

Evening viewing recommendation? Before it leaves the Criterion Channel in February, watch Howard Hawks's noir masterpiece THE BIG SLEEP (1946). In their second immortal pairing, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall's innuendo-laden chemistry practically scorches the screen. ❤️‍🔥

FASSBINDER'S WOMEN (2000) by the late, great avant-garde filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim ❤️ Now playing on the Criterion Channel in our Actresses Unfiltered collection, programmed by Melissa Anderson.

omg put "toyko pop" on your list. this movie is so fun and so charming and so scrappy
Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Fran Rubel Kuzui's TOKYO POP (1988)! This unsung gem of 1980s American independent cinema is a breezy tour through bubble-era Tokyo, brimming with knowing nods to the city’s vibrant pop culture.

Happy birthday to Alan Cumming, seen here in his brief but scene-stealing performance in Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT (1999).
